THIS BLOG HAS BEEN RETIRED. I'm still going to be keeping it up here, though-- there's some pretty cool old stuff on it. That said, if you want to keep up to date with me, please go to www.georgeoconnorbooks.com.

Well, it's not the actual god of the sea that they interview, but rather me, talking about my latest book. I had a really great in-depth conversation about Olympians in general and Poseidon in particular with Melissa 'Geekmom' Wiley over at the incredible Wired.com. If you're interested in giving it a read, as well as seeing a photo of my Masters of the Universe collection, click here.

This is just a screenshot-- see me talk and draw at the link below

I sat down recently with the good folks from MTV Geek for a video interview where I talked about how to draw Poseidon, the Olympians series, and my very own special feud with the God of the Sea. You can see it all here.

I know, I know, the Kraken isn't really from Greek mythology (in fact, if you've ver seen me in person, I devote a chunk of my presentation to how bogus the Kraken is) but it does make for a good headline.

If you live anywhere in the Mohawk River Valley, thanks to a generous grant written by the wonderful librarian Sue Rokos I will be appearing near you. I'll be doing some Olympians specific demos at some places, some drawing demos at others, and some comics-making workshops at yet others. If you see your library on the list contact them for more info, or write me for the full scoop. Hope to see you there! soon
